  Delicate, pale pinkish-mauve, early summer flowers with striking pink stripes and contrasting reddish-brown centres.

It is perfect for training over a pergola or arch, alongside a late-flowering variety.
  
  
  
• Garden care: Remove dead and damaged stems before growth begins in early spring, cutting all remaining stems back to where strong buds are visible. Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of of well-rotted garden compost around the base of the plant in early spring.
